You should check out TOS and EULA and how its shown in WoW and modify the HTMLs.
Trying using an iframe to show your webpage.

The HTML files are in Data/enUS/...

I don't think it is really possible. For a start the client only supports simple HTML when web stuff is loaded. And it would be incredibly hard to get that to load.

WoW actually can work with HTML, it is used for instance in readable items and objects. However, that works for text and showing BLP pictures which are in client. Creating some sort of new window which would be able to load web page from external source might be much more troublesome.

You might be able to hackishly abuse the knowledge base / support functionality. KBase will not do actual websites though.

Ashran currently does this and allows people to buy coins in-game trhough the store. So its certainly more than "simple" html.

Ashran is WoD. WoD has the in-game browser for the store among other things.

He never told us what version he is on. I assume he would be on the most logical version to be on. Sorry, I forgot people still inconvenience themselves..

The workaround I can think of (and assume could work) would be somewhat re-creating the pages in the client. Rather than having the entire page in the client, you could have a panel with the relevant buttons needed to get the same functionality you would get from the desired page. Then have it send messages to and from the actual webpage to the the results you are after from the page.

For example: In the client you could have a panel/pane and in that panel a donate button, when the player clicks that donate button, the next part pops up with an enter-able or selectable quantity to donate, then the player hits some kind of submit button and it sends that quantity, the character name the username and so forth to the webpage. The webpage then sends back a message whatever results you want from that information and in turn the client would then have perhaps another panel to continue further.

It would be rather finicky and more effort than value, but I guess it could work...
